Raven...
don't put too much stock into the 25/50/100year cycles of hurricanes.
You can have 2 50year storms a week apart, and then not again for 100 years. It is all statistics, and can be manipulated however you see fit.

What does worry me is the fact that our region (So. New England) has not seen a 'real' hurricane since Carol in '54. Bob, gloria, Floyd were all dinks compared to Carol or '38. Because of this people living on the coast in 1991 for Bob may dismiss it if an Evac is ordered. If we get a serious hurricane, (i.e. 1938 or Carol), most of the houses on the barrier shorelines in Rhody will go away......
